Delete duplicates from iPod ONLY

I have a 6th Gen iPod with many duplicates on it. How can I delete these from the iPod and not my Music Library on the PC?

Carefully. I have a tool called DeDuper for cleaning up in iTunes which not only cleans up duplicates but also consolidates ratings, play counts and playlist membership. It isn't designed to work directly on an iDevice.

I also like to replace the Library with what's on the iPod but a warning is received saying that if I proceed the music on the iPod will be replaced with music from the Library. I'd like to do just the opposite. (Delete music in Library and replace with what's on iPod).

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on extracting all of your media from the device. Once you have everything you can dedupe, then wipe the device and sync it with selected playlists from the updated library.

Yes, I could probably tweak the DeDuper script so that some of its features could work on a manually managed iPod, but it is much safer to run it against a fully backed up iTunes library. My recommendation would be that you extract what is currently on the device into your iTunes Library, backup, then dedupe, refresh the backup once you're happy that nothing too radical has occurred, then restore the device and sync it with selected playlists from the updated and deduped library.

Try the free iFunBox computer app

I did not get any when I download and used that app on my PC
